WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCES?

Primary sources are firsthand, contemporary accounts of events created by individuals during that period of time or
several years later (such as correspondence, diaries, memoirs and personal histories). These original records can be
found in several media such as print, artwork, and audio and visual recording. Examples of primary sources include
manuscripts, newspapers, speeches, cartoons, photographs, video, and artifacts. Primary sources can be described
as those sources that are closest to the origin of the information. They contain raw information and thus, must be
interpreted by researchers.

Secondary sources are closely related to primary sources and often interpret them. These sources are documents
that relate to information that originated elsewhere. Secondary sources often use generalizations, analysis,
interpretation, and synthesis of primary sources. Examples of secondary sources include textbooks, articles, and
reference books.

Primary and secondary sources

Primary sources provide a first-hand account of an event or time period and are considered to be authoritative. They
represent original thinking, reports on discoveries or events, or they can share new information. Often these sources
are created at the time the events occurred but they can also include sources that are created later. They are usually
the first formal appearance of original research.

Secondary sources involve analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of primary sources. They often attempt
to describe or explain primary sources.

Scholarly journals, although generally considered to be secondary sources, often contain articles on very specific
subjects and may be the primary source of information on new developments.

Primary and secondary categories are often not fixed and depend on the study or research you are undertaking. For
example, newspaper editorial/opinion pieces can be both primary and secondary. If exploring how an event affected
people at a certain time, this type of source would be considered a primary source. If exploring the event, then the
opinion piece would be responding to the event and therefore is considered to be a secondary source.
